Installation of R-package "BH" is not possible

Question

I cannot install the BH R package , which I only need to install dplyr afterwards.

The download works, but something is wrong with the processing after that, since there is no reaction or progress at all. Installing lubridate (and uninstalling lubridate), by contrast, worked without problems.

My conclusion:

> install.packages("BH") Installing package into '.../R/win-library/3.2' (as 'lib' is unspecified) versuche URL 'http://cran.univ-paris1.fr/bin/windows/contrib /3.2/BH_1.58.0-1.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 13846684 bytes (13.2 MB) downloaded 13.2 MB 

and then nothing happens.

What ideas can trigger this behavior? Are there any prerequisites for installing BH?

Answer 1

BH, since a significant subset of Boost Headers is large, as in a really large:

 edd@max :~$ du -csm /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/BH/ 111 /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/BH/ 111 total edd@max :~$ 

This is 111 megabytes.

Perhaps you just earned patience if your Windows (network share?) Was slowly writing files.

BH is also widely used by other CRAN packages, and there was no package on any platform used by CRAN.

Therefore, I suggest you place your library of R files on your local hard drive ...

If you have a real error report, consider submitting a missed ticket to our BH package.
